i was wondering that too i wonder if u can use root explorer to copy and paste it there and reboot hmm ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
i guess u can damn ur fast and thank u
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes you can as I just said ;)

Lol no problem :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
what about that post i just said about the wiping any insight bro
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Which one? I think I answered it, but yeah you need to wipe 3x for data, dalvik, and cache
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Or just download the gingerbread keyboard from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
Gotta ya. Sry 15month old is being a handful and I am trying to multitask...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
no wiping rotate stats and battery stats
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol no problem :D

Nope none of that :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
well damn i think i got about everything down then ima go for the gold then
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, hope it works out for you! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
Did this. Works great. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
see now im trying to look for that gb keyboard apk but im not trying to use the market in wanna push the file
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It's on the market ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
i was wanting actually apk i had it once a point of time when i had evo but i cant seem to find it now i guess ill search a bit i try to keep market apps down to a min hehe
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Point wuzzzzzzz, you could download through market and grab the apk from your data partition. Then you can uninstall the app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Here you go. Here is the apk (although not renamed). If you are going to push this you will also need the libjni_latinime.so and push that to system/lib (it's rar'd up below).. But the easiest way is the market of use the CW3 zip I have attached.

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
hmm i like ur style plz explain this data partition bc ima try it right now
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
ok u say not renamed i thought thats what it would have to be in system/app but as for that rar file im lost see i had a apk a few months back that was all i need was just apk and a root explorer push reboot and good to go
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
If you install the apk you should be fine. However if you are pushing and you want the word suggestion to work you need to download the rar and extract the .so file and push that to system/lib
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Looking for a tester. PM me if interested.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
hmm ok well i guess ill try right after i root and all i sucks tho bc on evo all i had to do was either instal apk from downloads and everything would work or push to system/app and install and everything would work why is epic such a tuff cookie :confused:

[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Glad every one is liking the rom. Look for a quick update rolling in all the fixes soon. Thanks Impaler for your continued patient help to all the users!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
An addon that will most likely be featured in SFB versions to come ;)

No problem, can't wait for the update! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
i gotta a question and i never asked but why does lost.directory always pop up on the sd even after u delete it
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you have a mac?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nitefall:
Just curious what program is adb i did a search for root explorers in the market and didnt see anything that resembled it... I need to try to do the fixes from the second post so i can get atleast the weather bug app working again.

When I do go to install those it's through cwm right? and do i need to take the rom off the sd since i renamed it to update.zip or just change its name?

Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It's not on the market ;) You need to search online for the android sdk. Use that to get adb on your computer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
My tTorrent app FCs. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try flashing the maps fix, many apps seem to be dependent on that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
What is being used to block popup ads? I use to not get it using smartbench, appbrain, ect but now they are popping up. is there an .apk for this? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It's part of the rom, but adfree from the market works well too :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
its android sdk i believe and i have a copy of root explorer but im try and find the link to where i got it hold up
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
damn it u beat me again argh
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, sorry about that :p :) I'll let you get one.... maybe ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
I did a little searching around on this a few months ago, because I noticed this same thing. What made me take notice of this folder was a strange loss of music out of my sd card randomly.

So I did some research and found that if you have your SD card mounted to your PC, playing music, and disconnect the phone without an unmount first, whatever file you were playing at the time has the potential to become corrupted, and its remnants get thrown into lost.dir.

It gets auto created anytime its deleted, at least it does for me, as well as my girls MT4G and Evo. So you might as well just leave it there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KOYHOY:
At first I ODIN'ed to a stock DI18... but then I ODIN'ed to the stock EB13. Then I did the one click cwm3 and root. Then I wiped 3 times and installed the rom. From there I have a completely wiped phone except for sd card. After that I install all of my apps from market. Someone said it might be a bad app or something because I get random reboots but I don't see what it could be, I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, do it again, and don't install any apps. See if it reboots. If not, it's an app you're installing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zenvita:
These are some very impressive battery stats in my opinion. Over 16 hours and about 4.5 hours with the screen on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Love the rom/kernel combo (have the Frozen standard). However, for some reason my BT headset (Plantronics 975) would only connect if it is in the pairing mode, which is a pain to repeat every time. This did not happen on stock Rom/EB13 - once paired, the headset would connect to Epic when BT was turned on and it only had to be paired once.

The voice dialing does not work well for me either, since there is no way to "train" the service the names it comes up with are, well, random.

Does anyone else have these problems? I searched the thread and did not find anything. Applied all the fixes in the OP thread, to no avail. When installing Frozen rom/kernel, followed instructions (3 wipes etc.).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Mine is working fine..... were you ever able to train the voice dialing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
Yep. Very impressive! Anything above 4 hours of screen on time is amazing. Thanks to ACS for that!
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Yes, very nice. What was your use for those 4.5 hours? I ended up with 5.5h display but it was with very light use (browsing) and only got 8h total...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zenvita:
My 5 yr. old playing Angry Birds and watching Angry Birds on You Tube was a good 2.5 hours. Email, XDA, Yelp, GPS, Browsing are all typical apps and tasks

where shall we keep an eye to, this thread or is it time for a new one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not sure what k0 will want, but I don;t think he'll be making a new one just yet. Could be 100% wrong though.

hey, is anyone else having problems with streetview? when i try to use that function, i'm getting an error message.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What error? Have you flashed the maps fix in the second post?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I had to install streetview from the market for it to work within maps if i remember correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
oh okay, i didn't know we had to do this...it just used to work before. Thanks for the tip man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:
jus flashed the rom and got it set up...

nice, no great job!!

can get used to this

thx for sharing
[Epic 4G Android Development] KOYHOY:
Do you have any idea what app it might be? I've heard it could be advanced task killer. Some more details: I do install some sideloaded apps. Also, I install the samsung apps through a zip file in cwm if that has any effect.

If you have time could you point me somewhere where i can chat to someone about this... the irc is pretty dead here I've tried for 2 days in a row now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would never install a task killer.... And I'm always here answering questions ;)

K0nane,

I love you. My speeds varied from 1300-1600 kbps download, with this Rom, I see amazing battery, and amazing data speeds. :D

Thanks so much for this ROM. Literally everything I want is in this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KOYHOY:
What do you think about installing the original samsung apps through cwm?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zerox202:
Phone's randomly rebooting and freezing. Tried multiple reflashes and odin. But to be fair I've been having this issue with every froyo rom since DK28 (stock,custom you name it). Sometimes after a reboot I get loads of FCs and I think I read somewhere this has to do with no journaling mod. I'm sure I follow flash directions carefully and I've even removed the sd card to see if that was the problem. I'm so tired of odin and reflashing ROMs.. any help?

EDIT: Q) Are most new ROMs with edify scripts designed to reboot automatically after install in CWM? I've been wondering if there is something wrong with my phone as it always automatically reboots
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Have you tried formatting your SD card? That is known to help with issues. Try doing that and starting from scratch making sure to wipe appropriately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zerox202:
Yes, in fact I have done this process multiple times, even trying different allocation unit size for formatting (always FAT32 however) and also trying the in-device SD formatting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
The only other thing I can think of is that you got bad downloads, or bad hardware. That's all I can honestly think of though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zerox202:
The strange thing is, I had this issue with my first epic. And so I returned it for a new one at my local Sprint store. AND I'm having this issue with the new one. At least the old one worked fine with froyo for like the first 2~3weeks before it started freezing. But this new one just froze from day 1 with froyo. I think it was around the time ext4 was popularized that I got this freezing issues. Maybe this info can shed some light?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
That is strange indeed... Maybe you could try using ODIN on a different PC with newly DL'd tar's and ROMs. Maybe something gets corrupted in the ODIN process causing problems further down the road? Or maybe something is not getting installed correctly from the one-click recovery CWM3 (if you used the one click)? Maybe it's just a USB driver issue? I'm not an expert in these things, but I always worked from the bottom up until I fixed the issue, and something along the way usually gave and worked. This ROM is great and runs nearly flawless, so it can't be the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
no i am not talking about an "update", i am talking about an update with the fixes baked into the rom like when he "updated" the rom to include the "market fix". I still dont see anything close to 45 hours of battery life unless they are on the charger all the time.... i wish i could get a 4500mha battery...

[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
I'm a little confused. I'm running the deodexed EB13 rom with the genocide kernel. Do I just need to flash the 3.0 clockwork mod and then flash the syndicate rom? Or because I'm am on EB13 and rooted it doesn't need the 3.0 cwm flash?

Sorry I have read conflicting posts on the subject.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You'll need to root/flash the recovery by using the CWM3.x redirector. Then, boot into CWM using the three fingered method, let it convert your system to EXT4, and follow the instructions on the OP to flash this rom :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
I searched and cwm 2.5 mentions a redirector but cwm 3 doesn't mention anything about a redirector. But I assume just run cwm 3 like I did initially with cwm2.5? To clarify, 3x wipe, run clockwork 3, boot into recovery w/ 3 finger method, and flash syndicate rom? I flashed lots with winmo but lack much experience with android/ext4 etc. Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That is correct :D And the one I was referring to is found here
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
I guess this should speak for itself in terms of stabilty/bad flashes etc. I have no exra FC on apps. Been up since installation. Fast as ever, still pulls over 2200+ benchmark quad. SMOOTH!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cleaned up. Let's keep this friendly and on topic. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:
my whole thing is, i flashed this rom last nite..seemed great.

woke up this morning and all hell broke loose...all it did was charge..nothing else.

fc's on nearly everything now. email wudnt send, among sum other things...which is why i went back to bonsai to get a working phone. until i had time later today to come here and troubleshoot.

MOD EDIT: Language
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
I attempted to flash clockwork 3x and everything seemed to go well. I rebooted, then shutdown and booted into clockwork. It still says 2.5.1, I flashed the syndicate rom and it won't boot, it just hangs at the Samsung logo.. I rebooted into clockwork and I get an error; can't edit /cache/recovery/... I just reflashed the genocide kernel and am in the process of restoring the nandroid backup of the deodexed eb13 I was on before. Did I screw up huge? It seems to be hanging at lost+found while restoring the nandroid backup. What do I do? Thanks.

edit: Now it just boots into recovery. Crap!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Was your clockwork orange or green?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
Was your clockwork orange or green?

Green, it just boots into recovery. Do I rerun the cwm 3x again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, that's not 3.x. Did you use the CWM3 rooter I linked you to? Did it say it was successful?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
Yes and it said reboot. I did, then I shut it down and booted into cwm to flash rom. I flashed the rom and it won't boot. I wiped three times before running the cwm 3x. Do I rerun cwm 3x, w/o being able to reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you use the three finger method to boot into recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
Yes and it booted into cwm 2.5x, the green one. It will only boot into the clockwork 2.5x recovery. It said it was successful but I guess maybe it wasn't?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, here's what I'd do. ODIN EB13, and try using the rooter/CWM3 redirector again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
The exact error is

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

I can't download odin, the link in your thread is to a 404 error page, I'm sure I can find it. Is odin the same for all phones?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevalB:
I realized something, the included wifi tether only works without crashing on 3G, once I'm in a 4G area (my office or anywhere other than my house), the phone will reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Pretty much yes, ODIN to return to EB13 stock and go from there with the rooting process :)

Is your phone type set to Epic 4G in settings? Have you flashed the fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
Can someone link me odin? The links in the sticky and wiki go to a 404 error page.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try this one :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
I tried to thank that last post but I guess we are limited. My gratitude however is infinite. Forgive me for being so cautious but after this minor mishap i'm a little nervous. I put the pit file (s1_odin_20100512) into the pit section and the rom (SPH-D700-EB13-8gb-REL.tar.md5) file into the PDA section. Ensure DebugEn is checked and click start. Hope it all works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, and no need to put that pit file anywhere. Just leave it be. And yeah, thanks are 5 a day :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
It doesn't seem like ODIN is recognizing my phone. No com4 or anything. It doesn't pop up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Is your phone in download mode? Power off, and press 1 on the keyboard and power at the same time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
Yes it was in download mode. But I reinstalled the drivers and ODIN recognized it. Thats like the second or third time I've installed those drivers. Hmmm. It booted, thank you very much for your assistance and hand holding. :D On to root and flash, ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, glad you got it! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Also you need to have odin open before you connect phone. Follow the instructions in the wiki and you will have success.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse Buck:
...in the process of exchanging rfs for ext4. Thanks again for the help.

edit: now flashing Syndicate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, glad it's starting to work out for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
I posted about this a few pages back (294 or something).

To get it to work turn 4g off, open wifi tether and enable it, then turn 4g on. 4g will still work and you should be able to enable/disable tethering with no problems after doing that. Once you reboot you gotta do it the weird way again tho.

Hope that helps (and don't forget to set te device-profile to the epic 4g).
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Just noticed today, my Wi-FI won't turn on. Any one else experiencing this or have a solution? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What is it doing? When you try to turn it on from the settings menu, what happens?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Impaler,

It was happening when I pulled down the notification bar and tried to turn it on.

EDIT: Just rebooted the phone and it started working. Strange....

May have just been a hiccup. Let us know if it happens again though.

WIll, thanks implaer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
guys this is driving me nuts

i need to assign a ring tone but its not letting me. tried the fixes (ring tone folder etc.) and even tried assigning ringtone with doubletwist. The settings app force closes when i try to set a ring tone and doesn't let me set one (for notifications OR voice calls)

what can I do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
When you flashed the rom, did you restore any data? Have you tried installing the myfiles.apk from Samsung, as it may be dependent on it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
I did not restore any data. I can use the myfiles.apk but am worried as people said they had many FCs afterwards...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Mine works fine without myfiles though....
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
installed myfiles and now have tons of force closes... restarting from scratch :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
After installing Myfiles, it let me try to pick a ringtone. However, the phone started making weird vibrations and then force closed Android.media over and over again
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, that's interesting..... I'll make sure k0 knows about this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] romanmb:
I'm going to start from scratch as if I just got a new phone and add my apps back individually as needed to see if I can find the problem. Yea, I otherwise love this ROM that much...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cesar424:
This has happened to me a bunch of times. Have to reboot to fix. I'm not positive but it seemed to happen from turning off 4g then turning on wifi fast from the notification pulldown.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KOYHOY:
I think I might have more insight to the random restarts I've been having. I was using a fully stock EB13 with no apps installed except the stock ones and my contacts and fresh formatted sdcard. Could it be that I have a bad battery? I noticed that the restarts happen when my battery gets about halfway. The phone suddenly says I am critically low and shuts off or restarts. Its a 3500 mAh from ebay.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Possibly a bad battery or messed up battery pins.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryanng2:
No, I have random restart too but with the stock battery. What's weird is if you use the "Reboot" option on the Shutdown menu, the battery drain like crazy. Mine goes from 50% down to 5%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
i just ordered the gorilla gadget 3500 mha battery. I hope its as good as the seido online batteries I used for my Touch Diamond. I will post pics when i get it. I have noticed a bit better battery now. I am not always loged into AOL AIM.... and watched 45 minutes of NCIS LA from Tv.com app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KOYHOY:
I have no Idea what it can be if I am running absolutely stock everything with nothing downloaded... I fully charged it and it was fine for 12 hours of very light usage (off charger at night) then it restarted. How can it be battery pins? The battery seems to make good contact and it happens when the phone is just sitting there. Do you think I should return the phone or do you have any more ideas?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
So what is the issue? It randomly reboots at 50%?
